[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm one of those posters. [b]It's just not a very common disease in this country[/b], and the addition of the vaccine to the schedule is relatively recent. According to the CDC, since it's been introduced on the schedule, rates have declined significantly, which is a great public health win. Public health, like everything else, is political (see, for example, the debate about gardasil) and choices for emphasis have to be made. I simply question whether focus on this disease, which is most commonly, though I agree not exclusively, transmitted via sex and blood contact is the right public health choice. My kids were vaccinated in accordance with the schedule, so it's really a political/social point and it's certainly not an anti-vax point.[/quote] Neither is polio. Why? BECAUSE OF THE POLIO VACCINES!!!!!!!!! (Capital letters for shouting.)[/quote]
